Project DARE! is a not-for-profit organisation specialising in providing workshops that get participants feeling confident, proud of their body and, of course, uber-Daring!

If you fancy a confidence boost and want to learn to love your body, their sessions are designed for you. The Head of Public Health England has praised Project DARE! for its "creative and unique approach to self-compassion, confidence and a positive body image". Some of the comments from previous participants include "I laughed a lot" "I feel more confident" and "my body is beautiful".

the minding money project

18/5/2017

 
Help and advice on making your money work for you!

The Minding Money Project is a three year project run by Mind in Croydon and funded by Comic Relief to help people with mental health issues make the most of their money by understanding and learning new skills around budgeting. Mind are now offering our students (wherever they may live) a chance to take part.

What does the Minding Money Project offer? 

  • Find out if there is an entitlement to additional money, for example additional benefits/ even if you’re not claiming.
  • How to get the most out of income, by budgeting tactics. Also by learning how and why, to prioritise which bills to pay first, to assist in avoiding more serious financial problems.
  • Open and manage bank accounts and learn about online banking. (Local banks are attending at an optional session to explain their systems and answer questions). Session participants can be confident of absolute personal privacy.
  • We also look at how mental health may affect spending/ budgeting.
  • Practical information is also available on money related topics and looking at income/expenditure possibilities

we're developing courses in spanish and portuguese

18/5/2017

 
SLaM Recovery College is pleased to be working in collaboration with member organisations from CLAUK (Coalition of Latin Americans in the UK) and SLaM’s Psychological Medicine and Integrated Care CAG to deliver co-produced workshops in Spanish and Portuguese.  CLAUK consists of organisations working in the voluntary sector to raise awareness and provide a collective voice for people from the Latin American community.
South London has a significant number of people from Latin America where language barriers and lack of knowledge about available services cause health inequalities. This often leads to deterioration in both mental and physical wellbeing. The project aims to support Spanish and Portuguese speaking service users, carers and staff to access mental health support and knowledge through co-produced education.
In late 2016 and early 2017, SLaM Recovery College trained a small group of Spanish and Portuguese speaking practitioners and peer recovery trainers in co-production and facilitation skills.  In pairs, they are now translating course materials and adding cultural context, and will deliver the workshops in late summer 2017.  

The following workshops will be offered in both Spanish and Portuguese:
  • Understanding Bipolar Disorder
  • Understanding Anxiety
  • Introduction to Recovery and Wellbeing
  • Understanding Psychosis
  • Understanding Depression

Dates and venues will be advertised shortly. To express interest, please contact the SLaM Recovery College office on 020 3228 3643 or send an email to hello@slamrecoverycollege.co.uk.
